Re: saving .spv with only visible sections retained

Maybe I am missing something.

I copied the syntax you posted. I highlighted it and clicked <run All>.
For 35 minutes it has just been sitting there with the words
"running SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT" at the bottom of the screen.

The cpu meter shows 0 to 1% cpu usage and 35% of RAM.

Shouldn't Modify Output be a fairly fast process?

I have the .spv file in one window.  4 lines in in the syntax window. (the 3 you posted and an EXECUTE I ran after it was sitting there for 20 minute.) The data window is empty.

On disk the .spv file is 3.48 megabytes.  I have 346 GB free on the hard disk.

Any ideas?

The MODIFY OUTPUT extension command can delete all items not currently visible.  Here's the syntax.

SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT ALL
/IF VISIBILITY=FALSE PROCESS=ALL
/VISIBILITY VISIBLE=DELETE.

The delete option is not supported in the dialog box, since it is more dangerous than the other options in that it can't be reversed.

any suggestions on how to do that?
If I do <save> or <save as> it save all of the output but when brought back the hidden sections are still there.

I want to be able to send a .spv file to someone who has SmartReader.  I would like them to still work with columns widths etc. in SmartReader.

I know I can manually kill each Notes section by hand one by one.

Is it possible to save a .spv file with only the visible sections?
